Awwww, thank you for these. The resoution is so clear. Michael was rocking it in "The Things I Do For You." The energy and the lightening speed in which his feet moved!!! Awww, my Michael from back in the day, now that's who I miss. I LOVED the Jacksons.

I remember Jacksons Day on VH!, they did it a few times in the mid-to late 90s.

They aired American Bandstand, Dinah with the Jackson 5, 8-Track Flash Back (remember that guys), Pop Up Video: The Jacksons, the Jackson 5ive cartoon and a bunch of Michael Jackson specials.

Thanks for posting I have'nt seen these performances in a long time. You gotta love those space-age jumpsuits. I love the young adult Michael he had a great smile and those dance moves you cant take your eyes off him.

Too bad the last time VH1 showed anything music related was when MJ passed.

You're smoking some killa if you think these songs re worth the rating you gve 'em.

More Like:

CYFI - star star star

Your Ways star star star

Everybody bored

Walk Right Now bored Repetitive trite shit that I can figure out why so many think it's so great.

Give It Up star star star

Wonder Who falloff They should have given this song to Jermaine for his "Let's get Serious" album and let Stevie produce it. Then it may havebeen worth star or two.

nod Jacksons and Destiny are more thematic while their other lp's are

dramatic. Lately I've been thinking a lot of how Gamble and Huff would have approached the Jackson lp if Jermine had stayed. I can hear him singing "Good Times" if the key signature was dropped a half step.

I hope from watching these, folk can see the futility of comparing MJ to the Purple Yoda...in any way.

Can you see how complete MJ is? Perfect and flawless.

Jackson brothers were great too.

MJ and P emanate completely different energies...as do we all

I was just about to comment on that, I knew I'd seen those suits on Musik Laden, which is one of my fav performances of Show You The Way To Go. The spin at 4:21 and the little bend right in time to that little noise in the music. OMG! I have this on my DVR and I reaplay that part over and over. Love those little spacesuits!

I think my VHS tapes from 1992-1999 are in Mississippi with my dad..... I may have to go visit and him and get them.....

Nah, I'll ask him to send them to me lol

They were BUSY in '79 especially Michael. He was touring with the group on The Destiny World Tour, promoting the album, while going back and fourth to LA to record Off The Wall AND writing Triumph eek and their tour schedule from February '79 to January '80 was no joke

I can see why the brotha stopped recording and touring every year lol
